2011 NT Info and videos

San Diego, California (November 2, 2010) - For 2011 Dye Precision has taken their flagship NT marker and improved it, yet again. This was not a simple task with the existing NT performance, but that was the bar DYE engineers set for themselves: to make the best even better. In a word: refinement. The result: The superior 2011 NT. Refined to give the user higher performance, even better reliability, and greater range of adjustability.

The 2011 NT provides a new lower 110psi operating pressure allowing you to shoot the most fragile paint on the market today. A simplified color-coded airflow spacer kit allows you to quickly change your set up to fit your exact performance needs. An improved cycling system yields better consistency and overall reliability. The new 2011 NT is sophisticated elegance combined with sheer performance that leads the industry.

The Dye engineering staff have removed the rear spool bumper off the back bumper on the spool and replaced it with a new bumper on the spacer rod. This new bumper is the same part used as a seat on the hyper regulators and is a proven design.

The second bolt kit improvement is the bolt outside o-ring changing from 016 to an 015. This is due to the small but improtant design modification to the bolt dimensions. Sightly altering the forces and balance on the bolt kit, the NT11 now uses a much lower operating pressure than before. The NT11 production guns are all set at 120psi and shoot 280-300fps. The difference is that the self closing valve closes later so slightly more gas is used with every shot. The end result is that the user now has a much greater choice of how to setup the gun. With the right tuning the NT11 shoots 300fps from a 110psi to the maximum of 150psi.

The NT11 comes now with three bolt kit tip inserts (red is .275, blue .300 and green .340) and three bolt kit volume inserts. The bolt tip inserts are the same as the NT10 (with the added larger diameter .340 green colored tip), the chamber inserts have also been redesigned to make them work better. The combinations below are settings we have tested with great success but there are of course many more possible combinations based on user preferance:

For 280-300fps using normal paintballs:
Lowest possible kick, softest on paint, least gas efficient
o Use green bolt tip insert (.350 ID, largest), use no bolt kit chamber insert
o Runs at 110psi for 290-300fps with a .688 barrel. With a Dye Carbon Fiber barrel close to 100psi
o Efficiency roughly about 1200-1300 shots of a 68 / 4500
o Watch out for the pressure getting too low, this will cause the gun not to cycle if orings in bolt are not very good or not well lubed

-Efficiency settings
o Blue or red bolt tip insert (I had mixed results on which is better, need more testing)
o Yellow chamber kit insert
o Runs at about 140psi, seems to get very good efficiency

The bolt back cap o-ring is now 1. This will reduce the likelihood that bolt back cap will unscrew by itself.

The solenoid block has been improved as well. The difference besides being red in color, is that the output hole between the plunger and the solenoid block is smaller. The new diameter is 0.6mm and this improvement will equalize the differences in solenoid flow. Additionally we reduced the flow through the block so that any inconsistency from solenoid to solenoid has more flow than the hole orifice allows. This may case the dwell to rise to 9ms but there is no adverse affect on rate of fire. From extensive high speed testing with the pressure set high, the bolt kit functions more smoothly due to the positive force changes. This improvement should also aid in preventing solenoid failures.

The new NT11 now boasts a lot wider range of user adjustability, smoother shot recoil and a quieter sound signature.

^^^ I'm confused as to why you chose to use the term "all new" when describing the 2011 nt. I would think the 2010 nt would be considered the "all new" one. Last year anyway. I hardly think enough has been changed with the 2011 to be considered "all new" not trying to flame you or anything I'm just curious

Im very interested to see what they will actually put in the kit. Im sure the new green bolt tip insert, but will they include the new spacers, bolt, manifold, spool, and bolt stem piece? It will be costly, but thats how Id like them to do it.
